Ketchikan - a shining light.

A florist 'refused' to make bouquets for a gay wedding, so the town decided to end discrimination once and for all

After a local florist refused to make bouquets for a gay wedding, Ketchikan, Alaska unanimously passed sweeping non-discrimination laws for LGBT+ people.

Ketchikan, population 8,289, is a seaside city on Alaska’s southeastern coast popular with passing cruise ships.

It’s known for its wildlife – which includes bears, wolves and eagles – and, as of July 16, for being the fourth Alaskan city to pass sweeping non-discrimination law for its LGBT+ residents.

The local law – which was passed unanimously, with all seven of the city council’s members in favour – came about after a florist, Heavenly Creations, allegedly refused to take an order for a same-sex wedding.

After a high-profile demonstration outside Heavenly Creations, the city-wide ordinance was proposed.

It follows in the wake of the US Supreme Court’s historic ruling that made it illegal to fire workers for being gay or transgender – and goes several steps further, by also banning discrimination against LGBT+ people in housing or public businesses.

This is great news for that city and its inhabitants. The world just gets better.

Whelp --- might as well get this in before the fabricators fabricate some clownish folderol about "cities run by Democrats" ... Anchorage is YET ANOTHER municipality where political parties are not involved in local elections, as are most of them, since none would be relevant.

Cue fabricators in four...... three.... two....
